New Years Eve
Great Scott !!
pyrotechnic
flabbergastors
have seized reign!!
fireworks celebrations circling the globe
as planetary fire wheel cycles calendar
sparkling veins mock gravity’s oppressive hold
hummingbird legions, whizzing & whirling
flamboyantly embroidering this beaded night
*****
as peppermint starlight pinwheels pirouette
mobs gather, to sample first-hand
bawdy, metallic-like, taste sensation
*****
wonder-filled eyes tearing in
carcinogenic smoke of gunpowder fog
smell of deep space tickles olfactory senses
*****
waltzing to The Blue Danube
lustgardens shivering ecstasties
midnight befuddled
by mulberry lips

Randy – this is so vivid for me – I especially like the close – I can hear the Blue Danube – may go put it on – and love the befuddled midnight. Of course, mulberry is a color of lipstick and wine, but I think of the old song – here we go around the mulberry bush! One more time. k.

Excellent! I absolutely love the descriptions in this! Hummingbird legions and peppermint starlight pinwheels. These are lines that will stick in my mind next time I watch fireworks.

Fireworks are a big deal around here, lol. I live in TN, and there is a HUGE Firework’s Supermarket a few miles away. People get super excited about loud, colorful explosive celebrations
Cool piece!
